    The Last of Us Part II is while not the worst sequel. but for a flagship title is a disappointment. Graphics are probably the feature but the story is best explained as a below standard Netflix show. Gameplay while improved (a bit) still is riddled with out of date mechanics and questionable design decisions.
    If you like the original stick with it and act like this game never happened.    The Last of Us Part II is while not the worst sequel. but for a flagship title is a disappointment.

Создатели, вы в своем вообще уме??? заставить фанов игры, которые переживали все события первой части вместе с Джоелом и Элии, сопереживали им, играть за человека, который жестоко, по садистски убил Джоела на глазах у Элии в самом начале игры. Как это у вас в головах вообще укладывается???
    Мне НЕ интересна история Эбби, от слова СОВСЕМ, на ее переживания, может быть даже какие-то страдания, ПЛЕВАТЬ! Это лицемерие, неуважаемые создателя игры, т.к. на протяжении всей сюжетной компании Эбби убила массу народу, у каждого из них были друзья, может быть дочери и сыновья, мужья и жёны, так может давайте сделаем сюжетку за каждого из них, за каждого кто хотел бы мстить, почему нет? ЭТО НИКОМУ НЕ ИНТЕРЕСНО.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First two hours in game : Joël, the gruff character who opened up to a teenager he slowly considered to be his daughter, forming an incredible bond of love and care, dies. In the most stupid way possible. He used to be careful about everything to survive, no matter how immoral it could be, but somehow he gives his identity to his murderer after slaughtering humanity's last hope of a vaccine. Simply idiotic and inconsistent.

    So the story is resumed to a vengeance trope (because who would want to witness an interesting, gut-wrenching and beautiful story in a TLOU game?) against an uninteresting villain we are supposed to relate through brutal scenes. But that's it. There is nothing more being developed. At no point the director's promises are respected : no questioning redemption nor forgiveness, you just drag some characters to the next cutscene where someone gets butchered. No control or decision on actions, the player means nothing. So how are we supposed to think about redemption or forgiveness if none of our actions actually matter ?

    The best decision to take is actually not to buy the game. Because, unfortunately, fake positive reviews from companies glorify this joke and will still convince some people to give it money.    … Expand

    La muerte Joel es de lo más impactante, pero sin duda lo compensan con los flashbacks.
    Sin duda uno de los juegos más increíbles y no le envidia nada a la primera parte.

    Honestly, I have no way to explain or how I am feeling after I finish. Sensational story, incredible graphics, fluid gameplay, excellent performance on the playstation 4 pro and base. Game 20/20 of the year, for sure. "don't mind criticism, just play and draw your conclusions because this game deserves much more recognition."

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game where its only points are graphics and length... Story is aberant, like playing Gothic 3 on steroids and where is the fun? All you do is kill. You kill for 30 hours! I could play WoW or Path of exile, kill for 30 hours and feel much better than after this game. Lame... Hope it fails tbh, games should feel good and rewarding for being played! Bioshock infinite had a better story than this attempt at a point and shoot game.

    Far cry 5 had a very interesting approach which made the player indeed feel odd and unpleasant, unfulfilled with the ending, but that was a charm, because up to that point the gane was 12/10    … Expand

    This game is long awaited and absolutely worth the wait. The first game didn't need a sequel but I'm so glad it got one because the gameplay had evolved and the story has progressed. It's dark, is gritty, it's very real. Thank you Naughty Dog for providing this work of art. Best movie I've ever played.

    Naughty Dog lied to us with the first game like Joel lied to Ellie, for the opposite reasons unfortunately,

    Naughty Dog is always a pretty overrated but still overall decent developer. Last of US is decent and a 7/10 to me. Story was predictable and gameplay is quite repetitive and lackluster. Things they do well are animations, lighting and probably graphics.

    Naughty Dog is always a pretty overrated but still overall decent developer. Last of US is decent and a 7/10 to me. Story was predictable and gameplay is quite repetitive and lackluster. Things they do well are animations, lighting and probably graphics. They still do and it's top notch among all PS4 games. Artistically and creativity is never their strong at that. My expectations weren't too high for this game, but I didn't expect it to be worse than the first by quite a large margin. At least I thought the story, characters' development and dialogue would still be somewhat enjoyable like the first.

    However Last of US 2 still managed do make me very disappointed. All the new characters are boring. Ellie and Dina basically had 0 character development throughout this very boring journey. There are some very tense moments in the beginning but it kinda fell apart after the first few hours of the game. Afterwards it's just sneak behind, stab or sneak, shoot, throw a stone to distract the enemy, rinse and repeat. Occasionaly there is some explosives you can use and that's it. Nothing unique is added weapon wise.

    Levels are slightly bigger which seem like a plus. however exploration is pointless due to the very limited weapons you can use. It does not add anything new to the story either. Sometimes there are interaction between Dina as you wander around for some scenary, sadly since she's a very lackluster, average looking character with a flat personality, my jaw almost fell on the ground due to endless ho-hums. Their dialogue is pretty much what you see with girls on your social media account.

    Another big complaint for Naughty Dog's games are being crazy linear. For some reason all their previous titles that got a pass from gamers a decade long. I always disliked that because personally, games are meaningful to play because I can forge my own path. Otherwise, I'd rather watch a movie. In Last of US 2, this issue is magnified to the maximum. Developer thought they created a great story, yet it felt crazy forced. Had they cut out those many boring moments and created a few more branching of the story and let player choose how the direction of the storyline in the second half to ending, it would be a much more interactive experience and perhaps I will be much more invested on every moment and details of the game so I can make my own choice for this journey.

    Lastly, Ellie's redesign is horrible, she used to be somewhat cute and now she's just like those protesters I saw on the last few week of BLM protests. Not to mention that she-male character and antagonist they created for the sequel, it's insane and by far the worst villain of any first party titles from Sony. She's like someone who won the lottery and became and became a billionaire, I wondered if Naughty used this method to just pick any NPC to become the main antagonist, there's no way you can tell she's so special other than Naughty Dog keeps put the camera focus on her.

    It's time for Naughty Dog to go back to the drawing board and understand why gamers play a game again. Gaming is fun because players can control. They need to create far more options for the players and let players make choices and develop way more tools for players to utilize that can affect the characters and the world within a game. Characters' physical appearance also needs to be customizable. It also shows the importance of mod tools, let players join in and add exciting content and customize your game even further. I'm tired of playing games like this where developer force the player to play the game their way and to go the story on their restrictive linear path.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
